and that's what should happen IMHO dump Briscoe and give Walker a 1st team spot alternating him and Goulding at FB/Winger until one secures the place on merit.
But you can be assured Briscoe will be penned in for all Top 8 games even when we lose because BMcD wont be told and wont accept he is wrong

I don't think that's true.

He's dropped Briscoe already this season.

Bin Briscoe
He is a liability.
Walker/Golding, wing/FB
If we lose Walker it will come back to haunt us.
Age is irrelevant, there is no substitute for talent.
If he was an Aussie he would be snapped up.

Dropped for Fridays game

Walkers now signed for 3yrs... so guessing Golding will be playing wing on Friday?!?
A difficult situation as Golding will potentially feel shunted out and let down after improving all year, playing with heart and giving it his all for us... BUT Walker is/will be the better player and fullback.
I've loved Golding's focus and defensive effort level, but he has offered SO little in attack throughout the year that the bigger, TEAM picture has to take priority.
Walker has been shown by GH & BMc he can't dictate - now's his time to show he DESERVES the NO.1 shirt

Interesting re BM's comments at the end of that piece talk about players sharing a commitment about what they can do for the club and not the other way round. Possibly suggests that young Walker has had a bit of a reality check?

It doesn't mean much in terms of Golding. The position's the same, its up to him to earn a spot. If Walker ousts him at fullback then he needs to get another spot. He will if he's good enough.

Yes good news this. Hopefully put that nonsense behind and let him earn the full back shirt off golding, which over three years is more than achievable.
I too think Golding could make a good winger (if he put some size on) as his defence is good and he's good under the high ball. Just needs to work on his attack and returning the ball.
Between them they could cover full back and wing one day.

Great news. Its a nice predicament to be in. Two fantastic young local talents at our club.

Would Golding be open to a place elsewhere in the team? Would Jack now he's signed?

Might be a case of them both fighting it out for the FB spot.

If they're good enough I'd imagine longer term one of them would end up as a 6 or 7.

Don't be surprised if one of them is at 2 next season

This is great news & GH has done very well turning this around as has SMTUK whether you like him or not.
I really do think JW in particular has the potential to be a top class player.

Another win for GH......anybody might start to think he knows what he's doing. Now what Walker has to do is find a new agent.

Is there a way we could have Golding in defence and Walker in attack at 1 with them swapping between wing and fullback?
Has this ever been done before?

I don't recall ever seeing it?

Its so crazy it just might work!
